[Rubella vaccines (author's transl)].

After a short report about clinical features of teratogenic effect of rubella virus, the pecularities of several vaccines are reported. Vaccine efficacy and reactions, and rubella vaccine programmes are examined. The immune responses induced by rubella vaccines are described and particularly about the duration of humoral and cellular factors. The AA. discuss about the possibility to use a killed vaccine or a vaccine without teratogenic effect or the experience to give vaccine intranasally.
